Currently having some issues downloading some videos my wife sent me. First off, I am currently out of my country of origin so I've already had a few hurdles to jump over to even get the ability to download. But once that was taken care of I haven't had issues; until now.
My problem is mainly that since this morning, I haven't been able to download anything she's uploaded to hotfile.com for me. Each one of the three browsers I use have different issues. Skyfire automatically goes to File Download Complete and obviously the file won't open because its only 280b/43Mb. Opera 10 freezes loading on the /get stage. And IE just thinks the rerouted link doesn't exist.
One solution I've had is hooking my phone up to a laptop and running the Internet Sharing program. It works, however, I am not able to stay in the same location long enough to monitor it and make sure the internet connection doesn't drop. So more often then not when I get back to it the connection is reset and download interrupted.
I've tried connecting to both of the networks in my area, and same problem on both networks. Also, I had my wife verify the file is still there, and on her end she has no problem.
Any ideas? Much appreciated guys.

I've just recently bought an HTC Touch Pro on Verizon plan. I read about WMWifi Router so I decided to try it to be able to share my phone's internet connection to other devices. I also realized that Verizon had removed the Internet Sharing app, so I knew I had to get that also. I got it all to work, but it doesn't work after I shut it down and restart it. These are the details, and I apologize but it's rather long and confusing...
I got WMWifi Router first and installed it not realizing I needed Internet Sharing first. After it didn't work, I downloaded Internet Sharing, installed it, and it still didn't work with WMWifi Router. I could connect to the phone via Wifi, but I couldn't browse the net on the laptop I tried to use (Windows XP). I uninstalled both Internet Sharing and WMWifi, and then reinstalled Internet Sharing first, then WMWifi. It worked this time, and I noticed the little icon next to the "Cellular Connection" on the WMWifi screen was green this time instead of yellow or red as it had been before.
Everything worked great with good speeds. I then shut the program down. Next time I tried to use it, I had the same initial problem, wifi connection but no internet on the computer. The icon at Cellular Connection on WMWifi was also yellow again. I uninstalled WMWifi, and then tried to uninstall Internet Sharing. It told me it couldn't remove it all. I then reinstalled Internet Sharing, and I had to restart the phone. Upon restart I installed WMWifi. Everything worked this time, green icon at the cellular connection, great speeds. To test it, I shut down WMWifi and restarted it, and no internet, yellow icon at cellular connection.
During this whole process I could always get to the internet on my browser, so I always had signal, and data was turned on.
I did the whole uninstall reinstall process and it worked, with a green cellular icon on WMWifi. I turned it off again to test, again it didn't work, only this time when I tried to uninstall Internet Sharing, it didn't tell me it couldn't remove it. Then when I installed it, it didn't make me restart. Now no matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to give me a green connection on Cellular, and I get no connection to the internet.
I know it's not a problem with the computers I'm using as I've tried a couple, and I can verify it's not. It's a problem somehow with WMWifi binding to Internet sharing or something similar. Maybe I have a faulty copy of Internet Sharing? Anyone have any ideas?
to be honest, if it was me, i'd try one of 2 things.. or maybe both.
1. backup my data (you can do that using PIMBackup2.8) and hard reset since something might've screwed up the whole thing
2. pm Chainfire (the creator of WMWifiRouter) and ask him if he has any experience with this issue.
It may be related to a bug that is fixed in the upcoming 1.30 - or it might not. I'm afraid I can't really tell from here right now (I'm in Barcelona).
As your experience seems to vary a lot and you have done a bunch of things, you may need to hard-reset as well (not sure - yet - though).
You should write support @ wmwifirouter . com about this issue, so it can be handled.
I have had my Fuze for a couple of weeks now and with all of the smart phones that I have had before this have all had the same issue for which I could not figure out a solution for it is a weird internet issue
some of the error msgs that would come up would be from opera and it would say something like "could not find proxy server" or "network problem"
when it tries to connect to the data network. But note that it can connect to the data network just fine just no use of the internet on the device for apps like Opera, Fring ,ect..
For example when I am using my device to surf the internet or something. after a while lets say I want to check an email or something that requires the use of the data connection for some odd reason the device wont connect for anything in the world it will just say can't connect to network. I have tried many trouble shooting techniques even actually listened to an att rep and followed their directions. But to no avail, I often turn to my last option hard resetting the device restoring the data and hoping that the issue will not come back. But it does after a while.
Now here is where the twist comes in.
I am still able to get a internet connection to my ipod touch via wm wifirouter 0.91.
so that is where the true issues comes in I can use the internet on my ipod touch via wm wifirouter but not on the actual device its self.
if anyone happen to have any advice or what not please feel free to send it over it would really help me out and others as well of course and if not at least this issue can be looked at by a future scientist for a possible cure
Ever since going to 3.1, I cannot get internet access outside of my house. Is anyone else having this issue?
For instance, I went to a hotel this weekend. TF sees the wifi, I click to connect and it connects. It even says connected. But I cannot access anything on the net, apps, etc. Nothing works.
I tried disconnecting, reconnecting. Nothing. Then I completely rebooted, nothing. Still see's it, connects but nothing works.
I pretty much think I hit every setting button trying to get something to work but no such luck. Oh it also did it at the Panera bread. So its not just one place, its all over. Any help? Thanks guys,

Maybe the hotel doesn't have free wifi? Can you connect with another device and receive internet?
I doubt the transformer has any issue if it can connect to your house wifi it will connect to any wifi. It doesn't know the difference.

Frequently places like Hotels...coffee shops give you free wireless BUT....you have to accept their terms of service in your browser first....THEN you get to surf...
I was using Panera's wireless this weekend, and didn't realize that I had to close the browser and fire it up a second time to get their "agree to the terms" page so I could surf....before that....my experience was like yours....connection but no surfing.
Hmm, I did try to load firefox and the hotel website never showed up. I will have to give this a shot somewhere else and see what happens. Thanks for the responses, I will need to do some more investigating! If this is only from not signing onto the hotel site first I will feel like an idiot!
helping you
I think you need to open the official browser first and then aprove the therms of use
some hotels require you to give your room number and such before granting access.
was on a road trip 2 weeks ago. hotel wi-fi needed for user agreement to be checked off and a username/pwd was needed before i got on.
when honeycomb shows you connected. open the browser and you should be directed to the hotel's home page.
I know this is a dead thread, but I just got me an Eee Transfprmer and was trying to use it on the train to work, which has WiFi. In order to use it, it requires "to click on your wifi icon and accept the terms of use". I have done this on my laptop without issue, but on the tablet clicking the icon just opens the wifi settings. I tried firing the browser but it would not connect to anything, even when I had good signal and connection. If I cannot connect to the so called free wifi, this tablet is useless to me. Any pointers?
Hi there.
Just got a new HTC Titan on WP7.5, and it has come to my attention that annoyingly, whenever I try to download anything from the Marketplace through 3G, it sticks on the "Downloading..." screen. However, when I attempt to do this via WiFi, it downloads without trouble. I've had a look at a couple of threads with this same problem and there doesn't seem to be a true fix available for Windows Phone users. I've tried hard resetting the handset to no avail, and it's worth noting that the content I'm attempting to download is under 20mb.
Secondly, I seem to be having a problem connecting to Facebook/WLM Chat; on 3G, it connects successfully, displays online contacts and receives messages. Only problem being that, given about 30 seconds, it will randomly disconnect me. This leads me to have to resync both my Facebook and Live account for the chat to work again... for another 30 seconds.
Again, this works flawlessly when done through Wi-Fi - so you're most likely thinking that it's down to the network, right? Well, the browser works just fine on 3G at all times, so I'm unsure whether to blame the ISP for this one.
Any help would strongly be appreciated.

Can no-one actually offer any type of solution here?
I have a Galaxy S5 Verizon.
Starting today, my wifi on my device has been acting stupid.
Whenever I try to browse the internet, it lags. It isnt an issue with my internet or my router because when I run a speedtest on my cellphone, it will take a minute to start but when it does start, i get 11 ms ping 60 down 10 up.
Same with a wired connection on my desktop. Same on my galaxy tab 12.2. They both achieve these speeds. Except they don't take forever to start.
I noticed that when I use wifi on my phone, the wifi download icon is active, but the upload icon isnt. Meaning when I use wifi to browse the net, its able to download data using wifi but it stalls trying to uploading data.
Well because of this, instead of having my normal instant speeds, I have lag. It takes a while for a youtube video to load. It takes a while for a web page to load. WHen i used the app store it took a while for the app images to download and it took a while for an app download to initalize.
I dont know why this is happening. All I know is that for some reason my device is failing to upload data using wifi right away. It always stalls.
Like I said, this just started happening today too.
I didnt do much on my device. The only thing that could possibly have done something is that I used terminal to change my device hostname. I was tired of seeing "android-3478547583gf7348574835" On my router arp table. So I went onto terminal and I did
> su
> getprop net.hostname
> setprop net.hostname <new_hostname>
And then I went onto recovery and wiped my cache.
Thats the only "Technical" thing I've done with my phone today and now for some reason my wifi stalls.
Any ideas?
I wiped the cache again to see if that would fix it. Didnt. Rebooted my phone dozens of times. Did nothing. I dont want to resort to factory resetting but I will if I have to. Im rooted. GS5 on 5.1.1
I shouldnt say its a lag issue since I still get 60 mb download speeds. Its just that the wifi on my phone is failing to initialize a full connection right away
